July 9, 20159 yr comment_132908 He has one year left but I expect to see him with the moose in the fall. Is that allowed? I thought if you have junior eligibility left you have to go back to junior.
July 10, 20159 yr comment_132910 He has one year left but I expect to see him with the moose in the fall. Is that allowed? I thought if you have junior eligibility left you have to go back to junior. You are correct. He will either be with the Jets or sent back down to Juniors next year. No Moose for Lemieux.
July 10, 20159 yr Author comment_132912 oops, forgot about that....wow too bad about him and Ehlers cuz they both need some moose time.
July 10, 20159 yr comment_132939 According to the moose coach he thinks petan Lemieux ehlers and Morrissey were the best guys at D camp. They are the most ready in his eyes. Jets signed Lemieux to a 3 year Deal over 1 million per year. Tells me they think he's ready for the Jets. Wouldn't shock me to see ehlers and Lemieux on the big club this fall at all and if spots are there for petan and Morrissey wouldn't be surprised if they are too
July 10, 20159 yr Author comment_132984 I think Armia makes the team before some of those guys...like Lemieux. Ehlers would be with the Moose next season if he could and so would Lemieux. Petan and Morrissey might be ready right now?
July 10, 20159 yr comment_132988 Can't see Morrissey making the Jets out of camp. Too many NHL defensemen ahead of him. Could see him being a potential injury call-up during the season to get a chance. The way things are shaping up right now, barring any more signings, I think a minimum of two rookie forwards and maybe up to three. I think they are: Copp as 4th line centre And one or two of Ehlers, Petan, Armia, Lemieux
July 10, 20159 yr Author comment_132996 How does everyone see the RW's ranking? Wheeler Stafford Armia Peluso Lipon Komaschuk ???
July 28, 20159 yr comment_137354 Some fantasy talk. Peter Tessier's blog today pushes the idea of trading Buff and signing Franson. You can read it here if interested: http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Peter-Tessier/Trade-Byfuglien-and-Sign-Franson/161/70192 In the post he mentions: Some rumours have circulated, coming from other cities, that Chevy has mentioned he would not ask Byfuglien to accept a trade, that it would be un-loyal. He further implies that if not "un-loyal" (disloyal?) to Buff, it might be considered disloyal to some of the other core guys who are close to Buff. I dont know, this is a business. Players understand that. But I've said before I wonder how Ladd's new contract impacts Buff or lack of Buff being signed impacts Ladd. In the comments, someone puts forth this gem of a fantasy trade: Bickell/Versteeg/Crawford/SchmaltzforByfuglien/Pavalec/Conditional Picks (Base 1 4th if WPG misses playoffs, 1 3rd if WPG makes playoffs but finishes worse than Chi, 2 3rd if WPG finishes better than Chi).
July 28, 20159 yr comment_137369 I'm just gonna ask this, for all those who are high on ARMIA and think he makes the team this season out of camp... have you ever seen him play? My guess would be NOPE... because honestly how could you have seen him play? What makes everyone so sure he makes the team out of camp? I mean if this is based on D camp, if a 22 year old doesn't look as good or in some cases better than the younger guys, then he should be let go immediately. I didn't think he was much better than Lemieux,Petan. Ehlers and the sorts. I honestly thought those 3 looked better and since they are younger than ARmia, that's sort of a problem isn't it? Armia is a 22 year old who has yet to crack an NHL roster.. just cuz he was a first round pick, it doesn't mean anything really... the guy is at the point almost where if he doesn't make the NHL soon (this year or next) then he's pretty much a bust... i don't even think he's in our top 5 prospects even.
July 28, 20159 yr comment_137383 Armia has hype behind him. When the trade happened, I focused on Armia from what I read but I've been pretty weary since. But you do hear people say he's tremendously talented. I dont think he makes the Jets out of camp because, to be honest, I dont see where he fits. Unless we move to a "skilled" fourth line, which is possible, even if he's a better player than, say, Thorburn, for that role, Armia isnt going to get it. And I think the Jets are high on players earning their opportunities. Lowry played himself onto the team. Chairot played himself into a new contract and will start with the jets. Armia needs to dominate in the AHL or blow people away at camp. I think he goes to the AHL and I think he will be productive.
August 2, 20159 yr comment_138739 Some dubious sources saying boston wants Buff. So for you Bruins fans what do they have that cane make this deal work from our perspective?
August 2, 20159 yr comment_138769 Some dubious sources saying boston wants Buff. So for you Bruins fans what do they have that cane make this deal work from our perspective? Lucic. Oh wait...
August 2, 20159 yr comment_138773 Krug Marchand 1st round pick. That's about all they have besides pasternak who they won't trade
August 2, 20159 yr comment_138855 no to Brad Marchand. I can't cheer for a team who has that prick in the line-up. Just can't.
August 2, 20159 yr comment_138869 Find it hard to believe that Boston is making a pitch for Buff... they just finished trying to shed salary and really don't have much left to trade. Or why they would want another aging giant... They had three first round picks and didn't get any deals done.
August 3, 20159 yr comment_138956 Ladd-Little-Wheeler Ehlers-Scheifele-Stafford Perrault-Lowry-Fraser Lemieux-Copp-Burmistrov (Thorbs/Armia/Peluso)) These lines wouldn't surprise me at all... Fraser is the annual sleeper pickup
August 3, 20159 yr comment_139036 Can't see Fraser being more than just a Moose player Both Thorbs and Peluso have 1 way contracts so they are both with the big club, one in the pressbox, one on the ice... I can't see them splitting Scheif and Wheeler, they have mad Chemistry out there.. Really hard to say right now... So many possible rookies in the lineup that really anything can happen.. I honestly could see Ehlers Lemieux, Copp or Petan (not both) all making it.. It honestly wouldn't shock me if Petan made the team over Copp.. I think at the D camp, Petan showed he was pretty much a man amongst boys really.. The guys gonna make some noise.. It's hard to say where they put him tho..
August 6, 20159 yr comment_139768 Copp has the size. Petan needs to prove he can make the jump, because he is so small, with a year in the AHL.
August 10, 20159 yr Author comment_140808 Ladd-Little-Ehlers Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler Burmistrov-Lowry-Perrault Thorburn or Peluso-Petan or Copp-Armia or Hali Enstrom-Myers Buff-Trouba Stuart-Chiarot Pavs-Hutchinson Ladd and Little bring along Ehlers as does Perrault and Lowry to Petan 4th line won't see much time. I expect to see Burmi getting some time on the PK. Hopefully, Morrissey cracks the lineup.
August 10, 20159 yr comment_140821 Ladd-Little-Ehlers Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler Burmistrov-Lowry-Perrault Thorburn or Peluso-Petan or Copp-Armia or Hali Enstrom-Myers Buff-Trouba Stuart-Chiarot Pavs-Hutchinson Ladd and Little bring along Ehlers as does Perrault and Lowry to Petan 4th line won't see much time. I expect to see Burmi getting some time on the PK. Hopefully, Morrissey cracks the lineup. You've done about 30 mock lineups. One of them is bound to be right.
August 20, 20159 yr comment_144186 Looking at this thread in late August, no-ones got it right yet in terms of roster even....
August 20, 20159 yr comment_144191 Rational look at it Buff plays wing with Lowry and ehlers on third line Then d on power play
August 21, 20159 yr comment_144234 Rational look at it Buff plays wing with Lowry and ehlers on third line Then d on power play Then just trade him. He didn't want to play forward and won't sign here to play forward.
